Northern Ireland national team star Corry Evans would be hoping to make his first goal contribution of the season when his Sunderland side take on Reading in an English Championship clash billed to take place later on Wednesday.
Corry Evans is yet to score or provide an assist on his return to the English Championship this season. He spent last season in League One with the Black Cats. Evans was an influential figure as Sunderland returned to the Championship after some years thanks to the win over Wycombe Wanderers in the League One playoff final. The midfielder was the Sunderland captain as they secured promotion to the second tier of English club football and the target for him and his teammates is to secure back-to-back promotions thereby landing in the much-coveted Premier League.
Northern Irishman Corry Evans and his Sunderland teammates would be hoping to get their Premier League promotion quest back on track when they take on the Royals. The quest suffered with the defeat at Middlesbrough last week Monday. Riley McGree scored the only goal of the game to give Boro a 1-0 win over Sunderland. It was only the second league win of the season for Boro.
Sunderland had the chance to bounce back from the defeat to Borowith the home game against London team Millwall last weekend, before the game was postponed as part of the football games suspended to show respect to Queen Elizabeth II who died on Thursday. The Black Cats have another chance to bounce back from the loss at Boro with the away game against Reading who are fourth on the league table with 15 points from eight games. The Royals can go as high as second spot on the league table if they beat the Black Cats who are in the top ten with 11 points from eight games.
